Casting Pearls

“Casting Pearls” is a short comedic film which illustrates the difficulties transwomen face in Hollywood. Calpernia Addams stars as The Actress, and we follow her on a hectic series of auditions. Despite all the horrible, funny and cruel things said by various Hollywood industry people, The Actress carries on with plucky determination and professionalism, showing that decades of bias can’t hold back the artistic contributions of transgender people in the media.
